1-4 days factory to Emden via train
1-4 weeks sitting at the dock waiting for a boat to one of 3 UK ports depending on your dealer locality (the biggest variable)
1-4 days sitting at the UK port
1-3 days going through PDI at the dealers
And then assuming it passes PDI (often doesn't for many a reason and so something has to be fixed), you can pick it up!

Glossary:
PDI=Pre Delivery Inspection
Emden=Port in Germany that all V.A.G. cars leave via bound for the UK
UK Ports=Sheerness(32%), Grimsby(50%), Tyne(18%) : % show percentage of total V.A.G. imports handled by that port

Cheers Jose, you're a mine of information. Shame they don't let you collect from the factory because I'll be passing through Germany on the way to Poland while my car is sat in Emden.

I'm surprised they don't, as they do for the bigger RS cars (or any car if you live in Germany).
 
nor mine I complained to the dealer again yesterday....it'd be quicker to get in that transit, drive via cape town and go to the factory in person.

I complained to Audi Customer Services via Twitter and was told someone would get back to me in 48 hours!

Hello everyone. So I ordered one today, BW 31. It'll be so quick because it had been already pre-ordered by the dealer and I simply amended its spec today.
 
ok I'll ask....what's the spec Marcinj?
 
Nardo Grey with black styling pack, titanium wheels (but without wider front tires), RS seats, sports exhaust, mmi navi plus, Bang&Olufsen and some extra bits like auto hold, black mirror caps, black roof rails etc. Didn't want to make it extremely expensive, so no assistants, pano roof, mag ride or limiter to 280km/h for me.
 
Thanks, what country are you in? We're not allowed to order sports exhaust without having mag ride in the UK.
 
Poland. We don't have so many "packs" here, you can actually pick anything from the list without too much restrictions. However, it is probably more expensive in comparison to bundled options in the UK.
 
Poland? I'll see you in a few weeks then when we go there on holiday!

Hitchin? Finally someone near me!:hi:
I'm near Royston. I'd put it in my signature or badge if I could figure out how!
 
Canterbury is my closest dealer, but wasn't impressed. I’d bought from Hitchin before and they seemed very good. Hitchin have a Daytona Grey demonstrator in at the moment. I haven’t driven it yet, but plan to when I have a moment.
 
Here's the one at Hitchin Audi

Doesn't have the Sports Exhaust unfortunately.
 
There's a Nardo at Peterborough, and a Glacier White at Huntingdon.

The Sepang one at Bedford is now road registered.
 
Sepang at Bedford? Might have to go see that one :)
Do you know if it's black or alu trim? Do you know if any of these near me have sports exhaust? The Mythos demo at Cambridge hasn't :(
Cheers
 
It's got the Alu trim.

Here's a couple of pics thru the window.

Cheers. I'll ask them about the exhaust and go have a look.
I did a google search for Bedford Audi and had a good look round the site. Then started to scratch my head when I saw all the prices in dollars.....oops, there's a Bedford in the third world too :whistle2:
 
If you do intend to place an order with a dealer around here, I'd recommend Hitchin Audi
 
Already ordered with Cambridge thanks, part of the same Vindis group anyway. Hell that Sepang looks good :) No primer in sight :hubbahubba:
 
So Audi UK called me back today and gave me some BS that Audi have only 'invited' 5000 to use the 'monitor my build' they would check if I was one of them and if not she would see if I could be added - WTF?
 
Do you have pics of the Mythos one at Cambridge?

I don't remember being "invited"

Not that I'm complaining.

It's check it nearly everyday even though I know it only gets updated twice a week ha.

Watched the Audi R8 megafactories episode last night, very interesting. A good insight into what goes on at the factory.

if anyone's interested.

For those of you who haven't listed your build week, that know it - can you let us know.

This is what I have plotted.... Big gaps 31-37 and no more than 2/wk yet. Does the factory close over summer?

Sometimes. Depends on demand, and if there is a significant MY change coming up which requires re-tooling. Normally there will be 2x 2 week shutdowns on each production line per year, but when they are each time is variable.
 
Off to test my second one tomorrow - Bedford's Sepang :nogarors4::yahoo:
Standard exhaust and ali-coloured plastic bits though :sadlike:
 
Anyone know of any decent pictures or a demo about of the Sepang with black pack and titanium wheels?
